Kind Words from Pet Parents
A little winter sunshine with Fonzarelli the Wonder Dog — one perfect February afternoon in California, catching rays, warming up by the grill, and soaking in the simple magic that makes pet sitting so beautiful. tretaylor.com
Tré is a great pet/house sitter. Became fast friends with my kitty Bingo, who's now in heaven.
New rescue Cowboy will be happy in her care. I have never been disappointed.
She goes the extra mile, leaves the house clean and tidy, and surprises us with delectable delights.
-Joyce Marie Robison - Pacifica, CA
Tré did a wonderful job cat-sitting our 14-year-old cat as well as taking care of our house, including watering our yard.
She would frequently send photos and updates on our cat. Our cat was happy and calm when we returned.
We enjoyed her delicious treat she left us.
-Laura and Jay Brodsky - Pacifica, CA
Our critters love Tré!
We have aging pets and it was important to us to have someone as caring and trustworthy as Tré taking care of them while we were away during the summer.
We are obsessive pet parents and very much appreciated the daily photos and videos she sent us which gave us peace of mind and let us know our pets were safe and happy.
And coming home to smooth jazz playing for the pets and a homemade sweet treat in the fridge was an extra special touch that we loved!

“Tré has stayed in my home a few times to watch my small dog Fonzie.
Fonzie loves his time with Tré.
She gives him lots of time and attention and pets and love. It’s nice to be on vacation and know that you don’t have to worry about whether your pet is being cared for lovingly or not.
With Tré, I could let go of that worry and just enjoy my vacation, knowing that my dog was being well taken care of.”
-Suzanne Rose Epstein, Castro Valley, CA
Tré is a sweetheart! She’s a true animal lover and has lots of experience caring for animals.
She will take great care of yours. She is responsible and a great communicator. I highly recommend her.
-Susan Jette - Vallejo, CA
While his parents celebrated 30 years of love on top of the Eiffel Tower, Simba—the King of Pacifica—sent his own regal anniversary wishes from home.
“Since finding Tré to stay in my home with Malcolm, I look forward to leaving for the first time.
Even though I love my boyfriend, I don’t think about him at all when I’m away. That is the BEST compliment I could possibly give to Tré the pet sitter extraordinaire.
Even though Malcolm loves when I return, I know he misses Tre when she’s gone.
I find myself thinking of trips that I can take just so Tré can stay with Malcolm again!”
-Eve Ford, Berkeley, CA
“I was so happy when a neighbor recommended Tré to me to care for my older dog Akira in my home when I traveled internationally. I needed someone I could trust that was attuned to Akira’s medical needs and who would provide loving snuggles as well.
I also had a new home we had just built and needed someone who I could trust to care for it. Tré exceeded my expectations on both counts; Akira loved her, and my home was spotless on my return. I recommend her without hesitation!”
🐾A Trusted Presence for Your Home & Animals 🐾
If you’ve arrived here, it means someone who knows me personally has recommended me to you.
For over three decades, I’ve quietly cared for the homes and beloved animals of friends, musicians, families, and professionals throughout the Bay Area and beyond. My approach is simple:
Keep your pets happy, your home peaceful, and your routines uninterrupted while you travel.
I specialize in calm, attentive, live-in pet and house sitting that allows animals to remain comfortable in the place they feel safest—their own home.
⭐ ABOUT ME
✨Tré Taylor—The Fairy Pet Mother✨
I am a writer, singer, and creative professional living a slow-travel lifestyle. Pet and house sitting has naturally become part of that journey—allowing me to work remotely while offering dependable care to animals and homes entrusted to me.
I work from home, which means your pets receive consistent companionship, supervision, and attention throughout the day.
My work includes:
🐾 Pet & house sitting (short and long stays)
🐾 Care for dogs, cats, chickens, fish, and small animals
🐾 Senior pet care & medication routines
🐾 Garden and plant maintenance
🐾 Home presence & security while you travel
Along the way, I’ve become known for leaving homes cleaner than I found them—and often welcoming families home with a small homemade treat from my “Nomad Kitchen.”

“We have had Tré take care of our home and dogs many times over the years. She takes the best care of them!
I know they will be well-loved while we are gone, our home will be tidy, and many times a surprise tasty treat awaits when we return!
So many good experiences, thank you Tré!”
